thanks for the nugget of wisdom ... i was just trying to read everything on the random house 100 best novels list and figured id start at the top
I have a harvard list I want to get through one day.
see i have a problem with these lists. most of the books on these lists are considered good because they were revolutionary for what was going on at that time. like huck finn discussing slavery. and while i did like huck finn it is not the astounding book it once was. or the grapes of wrath describing the depression. that to me was not good readin. it's historical and everything but i wouldn't consider it one of the top 100 books every written.
Yeah, I don't actually think most of those books are as good as they should be BUT if I'm gonna be a teacher I guess I need to read them.
don't be silly. you only need to read the dumb ones you're gonna teach. i need to find a book critic that i agree with and read their top 100 list. i can't find one though. all the formal things always have bad books in them.
I took like two lists and combined them.
